Why Team Khan and the Broadcasters are not keen on Breidis Prescott

It was a 75-25 actually so $386 which comes to about £250k

 

Khan shouldn't be fighting in Britain. He's just a big enough star here to make it economically viable to pay the big bucks to get a genuine name over. If the April 16th date was in America he'd not only get more money from HBO but would have a wider choice of opponents. Hatton went years without fighting in the UK whilst he established himself stateside.

 

I think the fault lies with Khan's team more than Sky. Sky gave them this date a long time ago, and Khan's team really should have found an opponent by now. But their cluelessness and greed, has put them and Sky in the position they're in now. This would never have happened if Warren had remained in charge.

Despite being a Khan fan, I'm beginning to wish they rush their decision, pick the wrong guy, and Khan loses. It's what they deserve.

 

Hatton had an established following here in the UK before he went to the States. This allowed him to remain there whilst his fans followed him. Khan doesn't have that. He left for the USA really young, and his core followers are of a different type to Hatton. They're not the type to go in thousands to another country to support their guy. They'd much rather stay at home.

And seeing as though it's a tune-up, I think he'd be earning more here in the UK than he would on HBO in the US - where it'll be almost mandatory for him to fight a tougher opponent if they wish to make a good earning. It's not easy to draw in crowds over there.

 

Not right now, but I think Khan will take him again later on as a tune-up so he can do the old LL "He beat every man he ever met in the ring".

 

that article is incorrect.

 

Bradley, Maidana 2, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Katsidis, JM Marquez.

the only PPV worthy opponents for Amir Khan.

 

I don't really see the big deal,it doesn't matter who he fights next,it has been stated as a keep busy fight. i'm waiting for the Bradley fight and if that does happen in the summer then it doesn't really matter.

However on the flipside it would be better for Khan to fight someone who will increase his experience and get some rounds in. This will help Khan physically and mentally prepare for Bradley but the big deal would be when he is fighting Bradley,I don't even understand why everyone is making a big deal out of his next fight,maybe everyone has high expectaions after the Maidana fight???

 

fair enough if its on sky sports....but its PPV so we should get a box office fight.

 

Conspiracy , but.......


You could argue, that due to the nationalistic nature of our fans, who they cater for, that its better for Sky to protect their interest by drip feeding us other stay busy fights that potentially have less chance of derailing him? however unlikely some might think that is, its already happened once, that alone, is seemingly enough for Khan not to want to chance his armour.

Khan certainly doesn't seem to want to fight him, I dont know why, but that seems to be the case.

I dont blame Khan, I did'nt like the way he tried to pass of his not wanting to fight him, due to him falling off the radar. Was Prescott ever even on! the radar?

 

btw Bradley said he is ready to fight April 16th.
